Before his death in 1979, Thurman Munson was one of the greatest catchers to ever ply his trade behind the plate. Playing his whole career for the New York Yankees, Thurman was both outstanding behind the plate, making very few errors in his 10 year career, and at the plate, hitting .292 lifetime, with 113 career home runs. The Yankees honor his memory by keeping his locker the way he left it before he died.
